a gentle christmas ballad built on ritual, warmth, and quiet togetherness

“the magic time of year” settles in softly, like settling down to your favourite christmas film with your family. this is a song that feels less like a performance and more like a moment everyone recognises.

working under the name lazy radiographer, the artist steps away from satire here and into something sincere. the arrangement is warm and unhurried, melodies moving gently, leaving space for memory to do the work. lyrics wrap around you, candlelit windows, winter air, familiar tables, and the feeling of returning to the same place year after year. it sounds calm, steady, and intentionally modest, choosing comfort over spectacle.

released as an official christmas song for 2025, “the magic time of year” feels built for repeat listening rather than a single festive rush. it’s understated, melodic, and quietly grounding. a track that understands christmas does not need to shout to be meaningful.

thank u for making this lazy radiographer 🎄
